Benefits of technology

The invention provides a method for embedding interactivecharts on a different website. The method allows users to select a chart from a list of options and have it automatically displayed in a chart box on the other website. Users can also drag and drop differentcharts into a chart box and have them embedded on the other website. This method simplifies the process of adding interactivecharts to a website.

Problems solved by technology

These charts, however, are not interactive.
These interactive charts can be embedded in online pages; however, the data in these charts is not secure because the widget fetches data when the screen is refreshed.
In addition, when the charts are copied into other documents (e.g., Microsoft Word documents, PDFs, etc.), the charts are no longer interactive.
In addition, other users cannot access the data associated with the interactive chart or copy the interactive chart for their own use.

Embodiment Construction

[0073]Embodiments of the invention relate to an on-line service for creating, sharing and embedding interactive charts. In one embodiment, an online portal is provided that allows users to enter or upload data. The online portal or user interface allows users to drag and drop the data from a data pane to a charting pane, automatically creating the interactive chart. Exemplary interactive features include a zoom feature, a data mouse-over pop-up window, a data hide / share feature, an audio and / or video feature, an animation feature, a drill-down feature, a data gliding feature, etc., all of which are optionally selectable or deselectable by the user. The user can then publish the interactive chart online or download and embed the chart into an electronic document, such as, for example, a PDF, .ppt, etc. file, where the chart retains its interactivity. In one embodiment, the interactive charts that are embedded online are searchable by search engines. The interactive charts and / or the ...

Abstract

Systems and methods for generating and sharing interactive charts are described. The interactive charts are generated in an online portal that allows users to customize the interactive features of the chart. An online portal may also be provided to allow users to automatically embed interactive chart(s) in another website without reprogramming the code of the website each time the interactive chart(s) are changed or new interactive chart(s) are added.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 205,802, filed Sep. 5, 2008 and entitled “CREATION, SHARING AND EMBEDDING OF INTERACTIVE CHARTS,” which claims priority to U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 077,728, filed on Jul. 2, 2008, the entireties of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]The subject invention relates to interactive charts and, in particular, to the creation, sharing and embedding of interactive charts.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Microsoft Excel is typically used to enter data into spreadsheets and sometimes make charts or graphs from that data. Users typically enter the data into a spreadsheet in columns and rows. Users can then highlight the data that they want to use to make a chart and then select a chart type. Excel then generates the chart, which can be copied and pasted into other documents (e.g., Microsoft Word document...
